NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream redmine package and not the redmine package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:13 relevant fixed versions and status.

Redmine 0.8.7 and earlier uses the title tag before defining the character encoding in a meta tag, which allows remote attackers to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks and inject arbitrary script via UTF-7 encoded values in the title parameter to a new issue page, which may be interpreted as script by Internet Explorer 7 and 8.
